The SANS Technology Institute's postgraduate degree program provides a comprehensive array of courses that allows students to gain technical mastery at the practitioner level in information security. In addition to technology, we enable students to master communications, project management, teaching, mentoring and persuasive skills. The degree candidates will have the opportunity to study with our faculty, many of whom have written the books that other security programs use to direct their courses. SANS Technology Institute's Master of Science degree programs offer candidates an opportunity to excel in the two aspects of security that are most important to the success of their employer and their own career: technical mastery and management skills. The degrees that we offer are: Master of Science in Information Security Management; and a Master of Science in Information Security Engineering. Tuition for credit-seeking courses is the same as any other SANS course with Silver and Gold certification. Each course (but not the entire program) must be paid in full prior to the beginning of each course.
